photovoltaic dust accumulation

[Thuba]

Goodday,
How can l use AI to measure dust accumulation on solar panels and automatically clean them?

 

[LittleInch]

You can't.

Is this a solution looking for a problem? Just because you can call it AI-driven doesn't mean you should call it that or do it.

AI is not the key question; the key questions are what are your limits on panel degradation and how are you going to have a physical measurement to evaluate that?

There are a couple of companies out there who have commercialized a product discussed in the NERL article.
